DAUPHIN, Man. – Same teams, same building, same result for the Dauphin Kings.

Shane Luke’s second goal of the game with 2:56 to go was the game-winner as the Kings wrapped up first
place in the round robin at the 2010 RBC Cup with a 3-2 win over the La Ronge Ice Wolves on Tuesday
night.

Dauphin (3-0) won all three games at the Parkland Recreation Complex against the Ice Wolves just two weeks
ago to win the ANAVET Cup, and the home-ice advantage continued for the Kings on Tuesday.

The Ice Wolves (1-2) got the early jump, as Kirk Moore’s shot went wide of the net, banked off the
endboards, off the pad of Brett Willows – who was making his first start of the tournament – and in for a 1-0
La Ronge lead just 63 seconds after the opening face-off.

But Luke and Ryan Dreger helped set up Bryce Lamb for the tying goal just past the 16-mark of the opening
period on a Dauphin power play, the only one of the Kings’ 18 shots to beat La Ronge goaltender Adam Bartko,
who was also making his maiden RBC start.

Despite a combined 30 shots in the first period, the two teams headed to the dressing room at 1-1.

The offensive onslaught continued for the Kings in the second period; Dauphin outshot La Ronge 19-5 in the
middle frame, but only Luke could beat Bartko, leaving the Kings with a 2-1 lead after 40 minutes, despite a
37-17 advantage on the shot clock.

The momentum shifted to the Ice Wolves to begin period No. 3, and the Saskatchewan champions pulled even
at the 3:11 mark off the stick of Doug Lindensmith, who notched his team-leading third goal of the
tournament.

La Ronge outshot the Kings 18-10 in the third period, but a late hooking penalty to Moore proved to be the
Ice Wolves’ downfall, as Luke snuck into the slot to snap a shot past Bartko, scoring his tournament-leading
fourth goal.

Assured of a semifinal spot thanks to Oakville’s 5-3 loss to Vernon earlier Tuesday, the Ice Wolves will
conclude the round robin against Brockville on Thursday night (7 p.m. CT) in a game that could decide
semifinal placement. The Kings wrap up their preliminary schedule Wednesday when they face winless Oakville
(7 p.m. CT).
